Someone showed this to me this morning! So true

RoFL. So true indeed. To add another log to the fire, here's what a hot British girl thinks about the ps4 and xb1: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m39Qwj7XBHs[/youtube]

Nice video!

Nothing about the Xbox One appeals to me in the slightest. At least the Sony are actually focused on making the PS4 a great next-generation console, rather than a home-entertainment device. If I were to buy an Xbox One, I'd be very uncomfortable with the intense restrictions Microsoft have chosen to impose on the console.

Besides, I love my Wii U anyway.

They're reversing some of the bad stuff now but I'm still holding my grudge until much more further notice.

After E3 I drove all around my state and only found one place accepting pre orders for the PS4. I also could not find a place that was sold out of the xbox one.

I am going to admit that as a PC gamer I am biased on this comment but why not just get a nice PC for this generation to game with? Both the PS4 and Xbox one are going to be based on x86-64 CPU so basically you are getting a PC anyway with the PS4 and Xbox One. Which I am curious as to how that will work anyway, does that mean that you can pop any x86-64 Linux disc in the PS4 and Xbox One and install Linux?

The four armies of a war that will never end.

The Microsoft will stick around due to the motion control and Halo.

Nintendo will come up with some fun ideas but games will always be casual/ remakes of Zelda and or Mario.

Sony is a mix of both but is missing out on a few details.

Last but not least is the PC gamer. Gets a lot of the same games as console gamers but miss the point of consoles and always feel they are above console players.

+1

Your PC will be future proof, games will be cheaper, you will be able to mod games and you can upgrade a PC.

The fact that they pulled that stunt in the first place has me completely turned off to the Xbox One.

I seriously thought the PS4 would be more expensive than that. $399 is just about right, and I'm already subscribed to PS+. Now I really want a PS4.

To be fair, though, it goes the other way as well: Alot of console gamers make alot of rather dumb assumptions about what PC gaming is.... and they get almost every single one of them absolutely dead wrong. The one that most will get right is that PCs are bloody expensive as hell (and they definitely are). I actually find that the reverse of what you say is true: Alot of console gamers that I meet tend to act very superior. Granted, part of it can be my own general passiveness IRL, as I tend to avoid arguements (or in many cases, avoid caring at all, thus saying next to nothing in response to people being overly irritating), but still.

PCs do get many of the same games..... but then they have about a gazillion games that DONT make it to consoles (And even the games that ARE also on console tend to have differences on PC, most notably the ability to mod or design maps or whatever). The biggest difference is actually how you find out about them; with console games, the publishers come at you in a bright, glowing clown car, spraying confetti everywhere while screaming at the top of their lungs; in otherwords, they advertise the funky hell outta EVERYTHING, and put it in your face as much as conceivably possible. PC games..... tend not to do this. I suspect this is due to the fact that those who use PCs alot in general are used to browsing and searching, and are also used to IGNORING ads (because of how damn irritating they can be, and because of how shady they can be as well). Not to mention the high presence of things like Adblocker; so they must find other methods. Overall, much, much more research is required on the part of the player in order to find many of the games that are out there.

The other big difference is just that PCs are much more complicated; some people dont like this, and others just outright dont know how to use one (or may not HAVE one). So that bit, I can understand, for the console players.

^ I think that's a pretty constructive argument for the PC.

The only reason I'm not playing on a gaming PC is because it is so darn expensive. I mean, a decent one probably costs somewhere between $1,000-2,000 (guesstimating here), and like mentioned before, the PS4 is only $399 and simpler to use.

But yeah, a PC is a PC, no matter what year it is. It's always going to be current gen.

Like what? I actually prefer Sony's variety of creative IPs over what the competition offers. I also hate motion control and Halo. I don't think Halo's a bad series, but it's treated like the second coming of Christ in videogame form, even though it's just a run of the mill fps. I also have zero respect for a company that spends more money on advertising than they do on actually developing games.

I don't mind Ninty so much, and actually consider myself a Ninty fan as well as a Sony fan. Though Ninty, like MS, recycles the same old ips, and has actually been doing so for longer than MS, they also manage to do new and refreshing things with their games, while still maintaining the core of what fans have always loved in, say, a good Mario or Zelda game. It's a balance that other companies struggle with, yet Ninty makes it look easy. Ok, that's not entirely true with their New Super Mario Bros. line, which I feel has overstayed its welcome, but IMHO, MS is doing exactly the same thing with all their main ips as Ninty is doing with their NSMB series. I guess in MS's defense though, I can't imagine that much can be done with fps like Halo and Gears that we haven't seen a million times over(you can probably tell I'm not a big fan of modern fps). EA has done creative things with Bioshock, which is the only modern fps series I can think of that I kind of like, but you can't exactly pull a 180 on other established fps to go against the grain, so they're forever doomed to be unremarkable fps.

I haven't been a pc gamer in years, and though not all pc gamers are jerks(no one on this forum seems to be like that), I've encountered too many that are, and I refuse to belong to the same club as them. Also, I prefer the comfort and simplicity of consoles, and I also prefer console exclusives to pc exclusives, since I don't play mmos, and I don't mod games, or do any of the things pc gamers describe as pc advantages. Plus, I don't want to give any money to MS at this point, if I can avoid it. I decided my old Netbook is the last MS product I will ever own till the company changes its tune. I have since switched to an IPad 5, and I only use my Netbook on occasion for things like emulators or indie games, neither of which I play very often.

A top of the line laptop is about 1,200$ actually, so it's not quite THAT expensive...

To some degree it depends on what you're looking for and what you consider top of the line.... which I think can be part of the problem. Alot of people REALLY dont know what's good, what's necessary, what's useful, and what isnt, and the price ranges of any of it. And it can really vary.

In my case, my gaming PC was $1700; had it built, didnt buy it at some store (wont EVER just buy one from a store again.... never. NEVER). That actually didnt really dent my funds much at all though, which is why I was willing to get such a pricey one to begin with. Wheras certain friends of mine struggled to get a machine that was more around 600 or so. Really, no matter how you look at it, these damn things are expensive.

Well, here's another log for the fire: http://xboxonedaily.com/2013/07/what-ha ... s-working/

It's not rocket science MS. Will it still work, or won't it? I think the answer is clear. If it will work just fine even if the kinect sensor breaks, then it would be better just to say that, and shoot down a possible additional criticism of the system's design, rather than being vague, and creating even more bad pr. The only possible explanation is that the system won't work if the kinect is damaged, or malfunctions, and MS just don't want to flat out say that.
